My grandson purchased a Carrera abyss hybrid junior bike some weeks ago which he hadn't had chance to ride much, so I took him to a local bike track with tarmac and MTB tracks. Unfortunately the untrained bike team at his local Halfords in Thanet did not set it up correctly. The handlebars were not straight and the front brake blocks hadn't been tightened properly when it was built. Also the front brake cable had been routed incorrectly. Luckily I have enough experience to know better than them and could correct the mistakes, unlike the elderly grandmother he lives with. It could have been very dangerous, so check any bike built by the "experts" as they are definitely not well trained.
